10. Bald eagles aren't super rare here in Minnesota anymore

There's one bastard that I've almost run over on more than one occasion. He likes to eat roadkill where the road cuts through the woods on the other side of a hill by my house. You're cruising along at 60 mph, crest the hill, yell profanities and slam on your brakes because you don't want to run over the national bird sitting in the middle of the road, eating a flattened squirrel. Other times he circles my chicken coop, looking for way past the chicken wire.

Still incredibly majestic though.
